A 10 year olf male presnt to the clinica after jumpting of a 2-foot wall, twisting his foor and

plate injuries, the clinican knows that this is a _____?
- Salter-Harris II fx
- Salter-Harris III fx
- Salter-Harris IV fx
- Salter-Harris V fx - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔ -Satler-Harris III fracture
Salter Harris classification system of grwoth plate injuries divides most growth plate injuries into
5 categories based on damage:
- SH I fx travels through the phyis.
- SH II fx travels through the metaphysis and physis
- SH III fx travels through the epiphysis and physis
- SH IV fx travels through the metaphsyis, epiphysis, and physis

head relative to the femoral neck that occurs through the physis (growth plate) of the femur. The
vast majority of clients with this condition are obese as the added wieght increases shear stress
across the physis. the mean age at diagnsosi is 12 for females and 13.5 for males. Surgery is
often required via in situ pin fixation (single screw) to stabilize the growth plate
